Ya I'm not sure how thats bad and dishonest either. I've never used a program, but I always wait till the last 20 seconds or so to place a bid. I do that so it's harder to get shilled and run up but I don't see how using a program to do it is any different.

When I say I "snipe" I am referring to computer programs. There's absolutely ZERO difference between wasting my time in front of a computer waiting for the last 10 seconds and having a computer program doing it for me. Zero.
